Yep that's write. but there is no way to script a generic install so to install on different drives with different sizes. So for that there is maybe a way to change something in the sysintall sources. But without any success for the moment
I don't see anything in the man page that would prohibit you from using a single script to handle different size drives. In the description for diskLabelEditor it has an example for setting up a new disk. By that example you would specify sizes for all the partitions except one, and that partition would just take whatever space is left. (usually that would be /usr)
Will that not do what you want?
